OT: streaming an edit session

[Andrew Kimery]

I Googled “how to stream on youtube mac” (I assume you are on a Mac) and got a ton of tutorial hits (I didn’t take the time to go through them because there were so many). From what I can glean though you use free software to live stream from you computer and you can setup a private/password protected YouTube channel.

For talking back and forth you and the director can just hop on the phone or use an app like Discord.

If you try out no budget solutions and they are rocky that might open the director up to paying for a better experience.

Ok, Messages then. My MacOS is in Finnish ???? The screen sharing via Messages was very much alive, when I last tried it.

Thanks Bill, I had tried Skype a couple years back but of ourse internet bandwith
an connection were not as good as now.
Good to see you’ve found it reliable!
Will sure try it again.
Still curious about other options

[Mauricio Lleras]

Thanks Jari, I had not thought about this option.
It used to be doable through Ichat and worked not too bad…
But since Ichat’s transformation into messages I had not tried it.
Checked it out quickly and there does seem to be a screen sharing option
still there so I will surely give it a try!

[Mauricio Lleras]

Gave it a look but it does seem to be Premiere only…
Thanks still, you never know when such a piece of info might come in handy!

Frame.io is not live, but there is a function where you can render a video from a timeline, send to Frame.io, then using the FCPX extension to link playheads back to FCPX so you can be watching together remotely. You can also send comments your client makes as markers back to the same timeline so you can make changes non-linearly.

I just got done with a very intense week of editing with a client in San Francisco (I live on Vashon Island near Seattle). Frame.io’s collaboration tools really are a life saver on some of these projects. I have not had an over the shoulder client edit session in a couple of years.
